Great place for a walk and people watch and watch the ducks and other birds. Nice quiet place and look out for the wood sculptures on your way round. And don’t forget to visit the cafe nice food and drinks and not to forget the ice cream. Great place for dogs as well. Large car park as well.

This is a fantastic place to go walking, the area is great with a 2 mile walk around the lake, also a cafe that is very reasonably priced, ,car park is a pay & Display, sometimes it isn't working so free parking on these days, great for the kids as the Room On The Broom Witch is an adventure trail with things to find on your way around, a must if you want to get the kids out for a good walk, 10/10 .
Hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

Just a nice place to walk around with the family & dog (or other pets) plenty of parking £1.00 for 2 hours, the ticket machine is cash only. I take my old dog for a walk out, he prefers it to getting out at the vets 😀

Anglers is a lovely place for walking, cycling, dog walking. Parking is reasonable and car park is adequate unless it's really busy. Lots of water birds who appreciate a feed, good playground for kids.

Fantastic place with sculptures from the book "Room on the Broom". The kids have great fun every time. The upside is the playground which is the end goal of the walk around the lake. On site you can have a coffee, use the toilet, but I advise you to check the closing times in advance, as well as the prices for parking.

What a magical place. Echoing other reviews it was brilliantly quiet, super dog & kid friendly and the playground is awesome. Bit out of the way but well worth the drive and can confirm car park was free (sept 9th). The Room on the Broom trail is a fab free resource, as is the cycling path, offshoot paths leading to surrounding areas and the bird watching den with panoramic views just wow. Word of caution though, the walk around the lake is deceptive - quite long especially for little ones on a hot day but we just about managed!

Lovely large lake to see wildlife, with hides to watch birds, animals etc. Footpaths around the lake and woodlands.
